Happy Birthday Dad

Friday, January 15, 2010

I know I can;\'t really say Happy-Birthday because your in Heaven so your already Happy but you know what I mean.I hope my Brother isn't causing too much chaosis! Tell Kevin I love him too,and I miss him.

Dad,the table behind my chair upstairs where I can see John in bed,well only your picture fell.Thanks Dad for re-assuring me your still near me,and watching over me.I still tell the day when we buried (hate that word Daddy) you and your picture came off Mom's wall on the carpet and landed 7 feet by my feet!.Grandma,Liz and I just stared at each other...but anyhow Dad I love you,and like I promised Im keeping my nose clean,and as you taught me,just being a good person

Im glad to say Dad,Ive been sticking up for myself latley and it feels good!! A neurologist keeps messing with me,which means with John.John's dilantin level Dad was 30!!!!! and she never responded to my phone calls! As you know b/c well you know everything,but you were on Dilantin John was on a toxic level.I hold a dose-well you know the story Dad,your always with me.

Im sorry to say,because you do know how unhappy this marriage is for the most part.I wish I had a marriage like you and Mom.The worst name I could remember you calling Mom was "mother superior" and boy we laughed about that for years.Dad I am so happy you and Mom are my Parents.Everyone says they had the best but I know I did.

We finally hired a nurse,the other one quit on me,but you would have been so proud of me Dad,she was texting,coming /going in late,going home early,just some dumb things.She left a breathing Treatment on John to start her car.When I came downstairs it was up on Johns forehead because he yawned. Dad I didn't surgarcoat it or anything like I use too,Im sticking upp for myself! when I have too.

Michael left on the Eisenhower 12/31,and have been receiving e-mails from Him.I love my kids Dad,you raised me to put Family first,well God,family,and Country.

Its early Dad so will let you go,just wanted to tell you how much I misss you,and Dad??? I love yopu so much,and I miss you.Ill call Mom this morning and make sure she is OK.Timmy is taking good care of her,but Dennis I heard is acting like an ass. He eeds to quit drinking.Hey Dad?Thiat sip of good strong coffee is for you

Wow! Your love for your dad is so inspiring! I hope to be that person for my kids one day. Sadly, mine are not that way for me. Maybe slightly, but not in the way you sound to love your dad! God Bless and I hope your day was GREAT!

I loved reading about your wonderful dad and how you know he is always close to you. When we truly love I do not believe we are separated even by death. I believe they are watching over us as your dad is doing to you.

You have found your inner strength my beloved Sis, I am so proud of you that finally you are not allowing people to walk over you and treat you poorly. I know your dad is so proud of you.

Life is not always as we thought it would be but through it all and I do mean all, you have found an inner strength which is now at the surface to use when needed. You are a strong, wonderful, kind, loving woman. An amazing mother, a special friend and a precious sister who I love dearly.

Walk tall and proud, you are your father's daughter and he is so very proud of you as am I.Love You.xx

Oh that was beautiful.. reading it made me a bit weepy as my own father is in the hospital now due to possible diabetes complications. There's something special about a bond between a father & his daughters, I see the same bond with my husband and our daughters.
